IS YOUR WORKFORCE READY?

HEREFORDSHIRE, Ludlow and North Shropshire College (HLNSC) is set to offer the very best training in sustainable technologies – including electric vehicles, solar, ground and air source heat pumps and more.

As part of The Marches Education Partnership, the college will be making a raft of changes to ensure they can support local industries by identifying skills gaps, upskilling the current workforce and tailoring courses to meet the changing landscape.

Thanks to funding recently secured by the partnership, HLNSC, alongside partners Telford College and Shrewsbury Colleges Group, will be making extensive changes on site to enable them to offer training in a range of technologies including electric vehicles, solar PV, solar thermal, ground and air source heat pumps, underfloor heating, water harvesting and more.

HLNSC’s business development manager Mike Coakham said: “Anyone involved in the heating or vehicle repair industries will need to engage with these technologies if they want their businesses to survive.

“This is why we’re excited about supporting the training and upskilling needs of the current and future workforce, developing and delivering accredited qualifications and putting The Marches area on the renewable technologies map.”

The Marches Education Partnership is a collaboration of education and training organisations working together on ambitious new skillsboosting projects. q
